We are born (and cultured) with a sense of self located somewhere behind the eyes, in between the temples. When we knew nothing of where the mind sprang from, it was understandable to think ourselves something of a puppet master. But these feelings are still considered naïve because of what we now know about the brain. We feel as though we drive our bodies like a vessel our minds inhabit. When you trip on the sidewalk you might say your legs gave out, but it wasn’t your fault. “You” haven’t aged but your body looks older. When we look in the mirror, for example, we instinctively comment on our physical appearance separate from the mind. This is referred to as “naïve dualism.” The people who think the body and mind are separate-more specifically the physical brain and the mind-are not naïve or stupid themselves, so to speak, but rather we are born thinking this way without consideration. Is the mind separate from the body? Who is in control? What makes the mind? Some research suggests that fully understanding consciousness involves biting the bullet that Cohle loads in the gun: our sense of self is programmed, a construct, an illusion.Īsk most people if mind and body are one and they will say no. No.When Cohle says that we are “programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody,” he’s not just trying to ruin partner Marty Hart’s “silent reflection periods,” he is bringing up some of the biggest questions in the scientific exploration of human consciousness.
